Crusher Wong is the Senior Manager (e-Learning) in the Office of the Chief Information Officer at City University of Hong Kong. Before joining CityU, he received a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Western Ontario. As a physics lecturer, Crusher introduced WebCT, the first widely adopted learning management system (LMS) for tertiary education, to the CityU community in 1998. Subsequently, he has taken the responsibility of the management of the e-learning at the university.
Throughout the years, Crusher was involved in various e-learning initiatives: unification of LMSs (2005), mobile learning pilot (2011), transition to SaaS LMS (2014), launch of CityU MOOCs (2016), implementation of flipped classroom (2017-2020), and gamification of learning (2017-2019). In recent years, Crusher helped to develop learning packages with the virtual reality and augmented reality technologies which can be accessed online. His latest challenge is to enable real-time teaching and assessments online during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
